Abstract

Measurements of single-crystal films of the itinerant ferromagnet SrRuO3 show that: (a) the magnetoresistance (MR) near Tc ∼ 150 K is large (∼12% at H = 6 T), negative, and is described by a scaling function; (b) the (negative) anisotropic MR is large (∼20%); and (c) the domain walls are highly resistive (unit area resistance ∼ 10-15 Ω m2). We believe that the MR properties of SrRuO3, which are strong relative to that of good metallic ferromagnets, are related to strong electron correlations.
